K-9 Condo
Enclosed inside, fenced run outside
An 8' x 4' fully enclosed interior for warmth and shelter, opening through a large dog door onto a fully fenced, covered 8' x 8' porch. The dog moves between the two freely — sheltered when it wants to be, outside and in air when it does not.
Worth knowing
The covered run is the part that matters in practice. A kennel with no shade is unusable half the year in most of the delivery region, and one with no enclosed space is unusable the other half.
